The Policy Office has developed a 12-month Policy Review Plan, which has been approved by the President’s Executive Committee. The plan will eliminate the significant backlog of policies currently past due for review under the University’s Policy Framework. The plan will also bring all policies into compliance with the Policy Framework and establish a sustainable review cycle going forward. 

As of October 2nd, 2025, the Board of Regents have approved an amendment to the Policy Framework that sets the review date as five years from approval or revision. This increased the review timeframe by one year. The Board has also endorsed the interpretation of “review date” to mean the date by which the review should be completed, rather than the date by which the review is to begin.

The Office of the General Counsel is pleased to announce the amended Conflict of Interest Policy is now open for consultation in accordance with the university’s Policy Framework. Members of the university community are invited to review the proposed policy, available here, and share feedback with the Policy Office at policy@mun.ca by Dec. 22. Thank you for your participation.
